*£1300 including recorded delivery to the UK; or £1250 if you can collect from central Bristol.*

Hi all, I’m looking to sell my ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool plus accessories as a bundle. I’ve had a great time with this camera, but now have a baby daughter that is leaving me zero time for astro imaging! So I’m parking the hobby for a few years… but I’ll be back!

A lot’s been written about how good this camera is so I won’t reiterate all that, except to say that I’ve had a lot of success coupling it to my ED-80 ‘scope and HEQ5 mount. I image from central Bristol and the light pollution is horrendous, but this camera and the narrowband filters bypass that problem rather neatly. Here are photos I’ve taken with the camera:

 

 

The core kit I have is basically this: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi1600mm-pro-usb-3-mono-camera-efw8-125-lrgb-filters-125-ha-sii-oiii-filters-bundle.html

Note the link is for the “Pro” version, which is slightly different to my one in two ways. One, the Pro has an in-built heater for the sensor. I bought one separately for mine, which of course I’ll include. (https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-accessories/zwo-anti-dew-heater-strip-for-asi-cooled-cameras.html). Two, the Pro has a larger memory buffer, but I never found the lack of this to be an issue with my usage.

Also included is a slightly different version of this holder ring.

And an adapter so you can attach Nikon F lenses.

And this very useful cable!

 

I've taken plenty of photos so you can see exactly what you'd get. First, here's the back of the camera:

 

And the front, showing the sensor and heater:

 

This is one side of the Electronic Focus Wheel. All seven filters are mounted:

 

And the other side:

 

Here's the Nikon lens adapter:

 

And the camera holder:

 

These are the cables it comes with. On the left we have the Lynx Astro cable, with a dual-tip; one for the camera, the other for the heater. Then we have the EFW cable, and blue cable for camera to computer -- both of which are originals. The blue cable is annoyingly short, so I'll throw in a longer one too.

 

Here's the EFW box and included accessories:

 

And finally, the camera box and included accessories:

 

Approx. price breakdown if bought new:

Camera and filters bundle: £1716
Holder ring: £49
Nikon lens adapter: £45
Lynx Astro Silicone Power Cable: £19
Total: £1829

 

I’m asking for £1300 including recorded delivery to the UK; or £1250 if you can collect from central Bristol. Payment via PayPal or bank transfer. If it doesn't sell after a few weeks then I'll consider offers or splitting the kit.
